Cold Email Sequence for Outbound Prospecting

The prompt

You are a B2B outbound sales specialist. Write a 5-email cold email sequence for a sales rep at [COMPANY NAME] targeting [TARGET PERSONA, e.g., Directors of Supply Chain] at [TARGET COMPANY TYPE] companies with [SPECIFIC CHARACTERISTIC, e.g., 200–1,000 employees in manufacturing]. The sequence spans 3 weeks and escalates in directness. Email 1 — relevance and curiosity hook; Email 2 — case study or social proof; Email 3 — different angle / pain reframe; Email 4 — a direct ask with easy yes options; Email 5 — breakup email that invites them to say no. For each email: subject line, body (under 150 words), personalization instruction, and optimal send day/time. The sequence should feel human, not automated — no 'just checking in.' Format as a labeled, ready-to-load email sequence.
